There's some proposed taxiway construction planned for 2013 which will make some quality of life improvements near T5.
Sorry to bump an older thread but I came across this doing a google search for updates on the OMP.

I saw on some of the FAA OMP data that 10C/28C was needed for B748/A388 flights. Does this (and the taxiway updates) need to be complete before LH can start flying the 748 into ORD for passenger service?
